A Greek writer is suing the makers
of Justin Timberlake s sci-fi thriller In
Time, saying they stole his idea.
Odysseus Lappas is demanding
US$4.5m from 20th Century Fox and
New Regency, according to papers filed
in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In Time was set in a future world,
where humans stop aging at 25, and
must buy, borrow or steal time from
other people---otherwise they die.
Lappas claims he wrote an "uncannily
similar" synopsis in 1996.
His story, which was filed with the
Writer's Guild of America, was called
Time Card.
According to his legal case, it was "an
action-adventure love story about a man
and a woman who live in a future world
wherin the human life span had changed
and people would die after reaching
their 25th birthday."
In Time, released by Fox in 2011, made
US$173m worldwide. It was credited to
screenwriter/director Andrew Niccol,
who previously penned the scripts for
The Truman Show and Gattaca.(BBC)

T he highly regarded
British conceptual
artist Jeremy Deller is
the latest pan proponent to take
the instrument into the farthest
reaches of the globe. Winner of
the prestigious Turner prize for
visual artists, Deller has long
made use of steelband music in
his wide ranging art projects and
his current major exhibit at the
British Pavilion of the contem-
porary art exhibition at the Bien-
nale Venezia in Venice, Italy is no
exception.
Deller's exhibit English Magic
will run until November 24 and
the artist's accompanying film, a
central focus of the exhibit, features
steelband music and is played
throughout the British Pavilion.
For those unable to make the trip
overseas to Italy, a limited edition
vinyl EP of the soundtrack has
been issued by the Vinyl Factory.
Pan has long had an appeal for
Deller. "As a child in the UK, I
loved pans so for me it was natural
for me to want to work with
[them]." However, despite his
upper-middle class upbringing in
London, the unlikely paring of
Deller and Trinidad's national
instrument appears destined by
fate and the artists is enthusiastic
about steelbands. "I like the sound
of them, I like the idea of them,
I like how they look."
Many of Deller's most influential
art works feature the recreation
historical events---such as his Battle
of Orgreave (2001), a reenactment
of the actual Battle of Orgreave
which occurred during the UK
miners' strike in 1984---and he has
previously commissioned new
arrangements for steelband to be
performed in unique parades per-
formances in Manchester, UK and
Trinidad.
For the Manchester International
Festival in 2009 Deller had Steel
Harmony, a local pan side, on a
float perform a new steelband
arrangement he commissioned. A
reporter for the UK Guardian
found the Deller's steelband per-
formance the highlight of the
event."But what brings the tears
to the crowd's eyes is the last float.
It bears a steel band playing, at
Deller's request, Joy Division and
Buzz-cocks songs. They ring out
Love Will Tear Us Apart, the
melancholy memory of Ian Curtis's
singing mingling oddly with the
steelband's glorious, passionately
joyous treatment. It's vintage
Deller, and, somehow, pure Man-
chester."
Deller made a film from the
exhibit Steel Harmony Bolton/Steel
Band (2009) that was shown in
an exhibit Jeremy Deller: Man-
chester Tracks at the Rhode Island
School of Design in 2011.
Later in 2011, Deller came to
Trinidad and worked with the
steelband Valley Harps and their
arranger Michelle Huggins-Watts
as part of the BBC's Collaboration
Culture series. Deller commis-
sioned an arrangement of Pacific
State by the British electronic band
808 State for Valley Harps which
was performed at the 2012 We Beat
street parade in St James.
For his new exhibit English
Magic, Deller aims to bring pan to
new and exciting places...
